A spring is 20cm long is stretched to 25cm by a load of 50N. What will be its length when stretched by 100N. assuming that the e

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Final Length = 30 cm

Explanation:

The relationship between the force applied on a string and its stretching length, within the elastic limit, is given by Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

F = Force applied

k = spring constant

Δx = change in length of spring

First, we find the spring constant of the spring. For this purpose, we have the following data:

F = 50 N

Δx = change in length = 25 cm - 20 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

50 N = k(0.05 m)

k = 50 N/0.05 m

k = 1000 N/m

Now, we find the change in its length for F = 100 N:

100 N = (1000 N/m)Δx

Δx = (100 N)/(1000 N/m)

Δx = 0.1 m = 10 cm

but,

Δx = Final Length - Initial Length

10 cm = Final Length - 20 cm

Final Length = 10 cm + 20 cm

Final Length = 30 cm

the positive particle has a charge of 31.7 mC and the particles are 2.80 mm apart, what is the electric field at point A located

vichka [17]

Answer:

the electric field at point A is

E = 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Explanation:

given

electrostatics constant k = 9.0×10⁹

charge q = 31.7mC= 31.7×10⁻³C

distance r = 2.80mm

distance from midpoint to point A = 2.00mm

attached is the diagram of the solution, describing the position of the charge

note x = r/2, where x is the distance from midpoint of r to the particle

using Pythagoras theorem as in the attachment, x = 2.44mm= 2.44×10⁻³m

the electric field at point A is given as

vector E = 2E×cos θ( -x direction)

recall E =kq/x²

where k is the electrostatics constant = 1/4πε₀

where ε₀ is permittivity of free space

therefore using E =2{kq/x²}cosθ

∴cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cosθ=1.40/2.44

E =2 {(9.0×10⁹ × 31.7×10⁻³) ÷ (2.44×10⁻³)²}×(1.40/2.44)(-x)

E=2{4.79×10¹³}×(0.574)(-x)

E = 2×2.75 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Vector E= 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

9000 Pascals Looking on the internet, it appears that a human can only suck about 3 feet of water. So let's convert that measurement into a few more convenient units. cmH2O = 36 * 2.54 = 91.44 cmH2O cmHg = 91.44 * 0.73555912101486 = 67.26 mmHg Pascal = 91.44 * 98.0665 = 8967 Pascals PSI = 91.44 * 0.0142233 = 1.3 psi Since we're dealing with science and the metric system is the most common system used in science, I'd recommend an answer of 9000 Pascals.

The heating element in a kettle behaves like a resistor. A particular kettle needs to operate at 230 V, with a power of 1500 W.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

R = 35.27 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230V

Power = 1500W

To find the resistance, R;

Power = V²/R

Where:

V is the voltage measured in volts.

R is the resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

1500 = 230²/R

Cross-multiplying, we have;

1500R = 52900

R = 52900/1500

R = 35.27 Ohms.

Therefore, the resistance which the heating element needs to have is 35.27 Ohms.
